October of 2008 saw the release of “Fallout 3,” one of many of developer Bethesda’s role-playing games. As the studio behind the bestselling “Elder Scrolls” series, Bethesda had high standards to live up to, which they did admirably. “Fallout 3” has won multiple game of the year awards.

This success led to the release of three downloadable expansion packs. The first, “Operation: Anchorage” was a tad awkward and sloppy, but it did reward the player with an indestructible set of power armor. However, this hardly justified the $10 purchase price. The second pack, “The Pitt,” took place in the ruins of Pittsburgh, forcing the character to make a number of difficult moral decisions. The third and final downloadable expansion pack, entitled “Broken Steel.” Bethesda promised expanded content, an altered ending, new monster types and an expansion of the level cap from 20 to 30. But is it worth the $10 purchase price? Sort of.

“Broken Steel” picks up after the main quest of the game ends. As it turns out, the Brotherhood has its hands full with mopping up the remnants of the Enclave and promotes you to full Knight. “Broken Steel” offers a number of new quests revolving around securing the purifier and wiping out the last remnants of the Enclave. These quests could take six to 10 hours to complete, depending on your approach. It also introduces new monster types, such as the Super Mutant Overlord and Feral Ghoul Reaver that will challenge even the highest level characters. If you’re a huge “Fallout 3” fan, then you’ll be glad to hear that this is the best of  the expansions and worth the purchase. Just remember, it’s simply more of the same.

With a product like “Fallout 3” however, more can be a very good thing.
